Tell me more about your entrepreneurial experience.

You say you have entrepreneurial experience, but give me an example.

A:

When I moved back to Vancouver in 2005, I learned that a local manufacturing company was up for sale. I was very concerned that a sale could mean the Vancouver facility was closed and around 80 jobs would be lost. I spent the next 16 months developing a business plan and then recruiting a venture capital company to make a bid for the assets. In the end, another company was able to justify a higher bid. Luckily, the Vancouver facility was not closed.
